Lambert, Yewed, OK & Old Yewed Church

"Carolyn and I drove to Lambert and Yewed this evening (SW of Cherokee in Alfalfa county, northwest Oklahoma, for your readers who do not know where those towns were located) and discovered, just a half-mile north of Yewed, the remains of the Methodist Church, scheduled to be destroyed in the not-so-distant future. In its day, it must have been a magnificent structure, as evident by the triple windows on the south, east, and west sides of the sanctuary and the large size of the sanctuary itself. I took about four dozen photographs while we were out there and have added fifteen of them to a special set of photographs on my Flickr site.

I am interested in any of the history of this church; I'm particularly interested to know if any of the windows have been preserved (we would love to see them if they are available for public viewing somewhere). Here the link to the church photo set

I also posted a photo of the old Lambert gymnasium which I understand is now home to large bales of hay, for the most part. There are also a few photos of the old railroad depot from Yewed (eight photos), which is preserved, though there is evidence of serious damage to the north side of the building." -- Rod Murrow, Jet, Oklahoma

[Editor's Note: If anyone has an old photo of the Yewed Methodist Church, we would love to see what it looked like in it's heyday. AND... do the windows of this old church still exist? Intact?]
